@ai6yr my Uber driver on the way to the mechanic the other day said that Uber hadn’t adjusted fees to account for gas prices at all, but that they are hard-pushing their drivers into getting the Uber gas credit card, which according to him only works at the most expensive gas stations, pushing drivers into debt to the very company they’re contracting for

Interview: "Trump’s Iran Strategy: Bluff, Blackmail or Real War?"The Americans had "a poor assessment, not only of Iranian capabilities, but, more importantly, of Iran's willingness to match Israel & American aggression step by step."~Mouin Rabbani, analyst"This war is not just about Iran—it’s about shifting global power, the future of the Middle East, & the fate of Palestine."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF0poYQQ514 #USPol #EUPol #IranWar #USCrimes #IsraeliCrimes #news #USImperialism .

As we seemingly enter the Third World War, we would do well to remind ourselves that national identities are a capitalist myth https://freedomnews.org.uk/2026/01/22/nationalism-kills/#war #IranWar

@BicycleriderI do this every time I fill up!

‘Go get your own oil,’ Trump tells countries upset over high fuel prices. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/mideast-conflict/article/go-get-your-own-oil-trump-tells-countries-upset-over-high-fuel-prices#news #economy #iranwar #usa

Nein, keine Schadenfreude. Denn #Trump hat die Lage für alle in der Region verschlechtert, auch für die Menschen im #Iran, die sich gegen das Regime gestellt haben. Die weltpolitischen Verwerfungen kommen oben drauf. Es war leider alles vorhersehbar. Warnungen gab es genug. #IranWar

No surprise here. (what is surprising is the WaPo using "Gulf of Mexico" lol)#IranWar #oil #gas #iran #drilling #endangeredspecies

Hegseth personifies Trump's "thuggish, sycophantic, Islamaphobic, power-drunk administration."He's "not a fringe figure. Militarism, civilizational arrogance, & Crusader fantasies are.. at the center of power.""Boastful, taunting, & intoxicated by violence, Hegseth claims a divinely-sanctioned mandate to kill anyone who does not align with his White Christian nationalist dogma [&] Zionist agenda."https://www.juancole.com/2026/03/secretary-hegseths-christian.html#USPol #EUPol #IranWar #ChristianNationalism #Zionism #Islamophobia .

Spain closing airspace to US planes is a significant signal — NATO allies choosing neutrality in an escalating conflict breaks the fiction that alliance obligations are automatic. it doesn't take many countries making the same calculation before the coalition math falls apart.

@Rastal @ScottLucas But the conundrum that Netanyahu & co currently face is that “Greater Israel” can only be established if “Israel”, as currently constituted as a Zionist ethnostate, still exists after the current #OperationEpsteinFury has ended - most likely on Iran’s terms & barring a nuclear escalation!

@Nonilex gotta move to Spain.

"Does the tail wag the dog? The truth is the dog & the tail are wagging each other".Israel is Washington’s most favoured client state. It has to operate within ME “security” parameters laid down by the US.At the same time, Israel influences "those parameters in its own interests, chiefly by shaping military, political & cultural discourse in the US through the many levers available to it."https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2026-03-27/tail-wag-dog-bigger-picture/ #USPol #EUPol #IranWar #IsraelLobby #USImperialism #news .

Analysis: Iran is not just surviving the US-Israeli assault; it is fighting back.It's a Greek tragedy: Every move the US makes to escape fate delivers it:The US went to war to dominate – & proved it no longer could;It demanded help from allies – & revealed it had none;For 40 years, it tried to break Iran -- & forged a capable adversary;It wanted leverage over China – & had to beg China for help.~Arnaud BertrandSource: Zeteo, 27 Mar#USPol #EUPol #IranWar #USImperialism #news .
